The guys of "Grey’s Anatomy" have all been life changing for girls around the world. Derek Shepherd showed us that a guy could have it all. Preston Burke showed us that love could come before work. Mark Sloan showed us that being cocky is actually kinda hot. George O’Malley showed us being a silent hero is okay. However, one Grey’s guy goes extremely underrated and is actually the best of them all. Not only is Alex Karev really nice to look at, but there are so many other characteristics that make him the perfect guy.

1. He is confident in himself

Well, cocky and arrogant might be better words to use. But either way, he knows what he’s good at, referring to both medicine and girls, and he wants everyone to know it. While he can get a little overly cocky sometimes, what’s not to like about a guy who knows he’s awesome?

2. Even though he is really smug, he is loving

Despite his excessive cockiness, he is able to show his real self when he starts falling for a girl or he is with his friends. After Christina leaves, he becomes Meredith’s person. When Ava (pregnant lady from the ferry accident also known as Rebecca) needs someone, he is always there for her. And even though his current girlfriend Jo is a little messed up sometimes, he loves her unconditionally because they come from similar backgrounds and understand each other.

3. He helps when he can

When Denny died, he carried Izzie out of the hospital. When Arizona needed someone to take over her surgeries and someone to talk to, he was there. When Derek died, he never stopped calling Meredith to make sure she was okay and helped her with the kids when she finally came back.

4. Sense of humor

While it may be a bit unconventional to most people (and a little mean at times), it is hard to deny that he is the funniest of all the guys on the show.

5. He’s always blunt about everything

Don’t count on Alex to just keep his mouth shut about something. While he might try, he usually fails and ends up just blurting everything out that is on his mind, whether it hurts someone or not.

6. He works with kids

What’s not to like about a guy who works well with kids? While he may be a surgeon, he always knows how to connect with the kids on another level instead of just being their doctor. When Arizona couldn’t go treat kids in Africa, he brought them to Grey-Sloan Memorial hospital to be operated on by all the doctors.

So next time you sit down to watch some "Grey’s," try taking your focus off McDreamy and McSteamy and try to see how perfect Karev really is.
